Vehicle Hoists

What a car hoist is!

Simply, this is a device similar to an elevator, used in raising all kinds of automobiles from the ground level. The need for this machine arises in circumstances where repairing work need to be done on the lower part of a vehicle. Having to lie flat under a vehicle might not be a convenient to do, but with the presence of a hoist, the work is made very simple. Also, using a hoist to see the bottom of a car will enable the person to have a better view of the lower part of the vehicle without having to strain any part of the vehicle.

The understanding that might have been gathered so far in this write-up is that the use of a car hoist
is limited to situations where there is a need for repair works to be done on a vehicle, not totally so;
the device is also useful in car storage, especially when there are more vehicles available in limited
garage space. Using a hoist in that circumstance will help in having one vehicle to be elevated above
the ground, leaving the ground floor free for another car to be parked.

Various types of Car hoists are available for use like scissor lifts etc. There is the hydraulic version as well as the electric model of these two types, the electric versions are the most common, probably because of their easier usage characteristics. Also, hoists for cars differ according to the number of posts it has. There are two types- four-post and two-post.

Two-Post Hoist

As the name implies, a two-post vehicle hoist has only two posts and it is these two posts that support the hanger on which a car will be held. This kind of hoist is specifically made for garages made with low
ceiling and it cannot be used for storing more than one vehicle at a time.

Four-Post Hoist

In a four-post hoist, a car is supported by a rack-like device that has the capacity of carrying two vehicles at a time; one will be kept above the ground level and the other will be stored below it. This type of hoist can be utilized in storing or working on a wider variety of vehicles than its two-post counterpart.

These two hoist types are made both, for professional vehicle mechanics and car enthusiasts who are interested in saving garage space and working on minor faults in their vehicles.

When choosing a host, the things that need to be put into consideration are the following:

The width of the vehicles the hoist is to be used for

The height of your ceiling

The width of your garage

The depth of your garage

The height of the vehicle involved

The weight of the vehicle

The wheelbase of the vehicle

The thickness of your floor

The suitability of your electrical installation to the requirements of the type of hoist to be bought
